PRINCE Harry was the hero of the day after brokering a record-breaking deal at the BGC charity event in London yesterday.

Prince Harry took to the phones and sealed a jaw-dropping e18billion (£15.5million) deal at the offices of BGC Partners.

It was the biggest ever single trade of its kind in the currency market’s history and raised £10,000 for charity. Every year staff at the city firm, which lost 658 colleagues in the 9/11 terror attacks, give up their commission for a day to raise money for local charities and this time added an online auction to boost their commemorative fund-raising.

A host of entertainment industry heavyweights added their assistance and supermodel Eva Herzigova seemed proud of the young royal: “Harry told me he was nervous making the deals but he looked very much at ease.”

London Mayor Boris Johnson quipped: “May you rip off as many clients around the world today as possible to help tackle poverty and literacy for deprived children in London.”

The Prince was the perfect gentleman when he saw former flame Natalie Pinkham, 31, was also in attendance, planting a kiss on her cheek. Tongues weren’t set wagging, however, as she’s now engaged to TV executive Owain Walbyoff. Organisers hope the event trumps the £6.6million raised last year.
